# Flow on Helios Ingest API > **📝 Note**: This is a Preview feature. The Flow on Helios Ingest API allows you to move data from a supported source database into SingleStore. You can use this API to: * Configure and test connections to supported source databases and the destination database (SingleStore). * Retrieve connection details for source and destination databases. * List available tables and their selection status for ingestion. * Set and retrieve schedules for data transfers, supporting modes such as manual, periodic, daily, weekly, and monthly. * Perform pipeline operations including full extract, sync struct, sync new tables, and manual delta. ## Authentication All requests must include authentication credentials. Refer to [Flow on Helios API Authentication](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/load-data/load-data-with-singlestore-flow-on-helios/flow-on-helios-api/flow-on-helios-api-authentication.md) for more information. ## Base URL All Ingest API requests must be sent to the following base URL: ``` https://:30081/ingest/api/ingest ``` Where `` corresponds to the endpoint for the Helios Flow instance. In the Portal, go to **Ingestion** > **Flow**. In the row for your Flow instance, click the three dots on the right, select **View Details**, and copy the value from **Endpoint**. ## Flow on Helios Ingest API Reference The following endpoints include HTTP methods, required headers, request and response formats, and example requests. * *Save Source Database Configuration* ## Save Source Database ConfigurationSaves a new connection or updates an existing connection to a source database.## EndpointPATCH /conn-src## Request Headers| Header | Required | Value | Description | | ------------- | -------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | Content-Type | Yes | application/json | Media type of request body. | | Authorization | Yes | Bearer \ | Bearer token for API authentication |## Request BodyA JSON array of key-value pairs.
